Princes and princesses

Ellum

My eyes flew open as I heard my name being hollered. I shot out of a messy light reddish bed and ran to my closet.

Apparently I had overslept or something from a nap. But usually someone came to wake me up. Whatever.

I pulled on a light red polo shirt and some basic jeans. I grabbed my crown on my way out and placed it onto my head.

The golden crown flashed against the walls as I pulled on my black dress shoes and the red crystals danced against the ceiling.

I ran downstairs at a full on sprint before skidding to a stop in front of my mother. She gave me a look and frowned.

"I am heading to Capwich Kingdom for a few days. Don't do anything stupid as you're in charge,"

"Wait what?" I asked in total confusion. Usually she took me with her as my best friend and closest ally, Koji, lived there.

"I will be back in a few days," she repeated and left out the castle doors. I walked back to my room dumbfounded.

I felt dizzy once I reached the bed and used a wall to steady myself. I shook my head and heard the knob to my room turn.

Weird. I could've sworn I'd left that open. A familiar face walked in and his eyes widened. The taller male smiled and I ran over to greet him.

"Koji what the hell is going on?" I asked, why was he here in my Kingdom?

"A long story. I'll explain in a minute. Come on," he said and dragged me, almost quite literally, out of my room.

We were in a white hallway. Doors lined it with obvious signs and names. I glanced at a few but Koji was walking to fast. I sped up my pace and stopped as a hologram appeared.

"Ellum of Dayley Kingdom. Welcome to planet Polus. Meet the others and explore," it said and vanished. I flinched back in surprise and frowned.

"Was that normal?"

"As far as I know yes. I practically just got here myself," he said and we left the hall. We went over around the back and paused before a fence. The fence was connected to the very back of the hallway so there was no way behind it.

The fence hummed slightly with electricity and I refrained from touching it. Koji started to look around without an explanation when something caught my eye.

"Koji, what's that?" I asked and walked over. He crouched next to me and looks at it. It was a box half buried in the ground and I opened it.

It looked like an electrical box as there were wires and switches and stuff.

"I have almost no clue. But I do know someone who might," he said and took of running. Sometimes I hated him.

I followed until we almost ran into a fence. There was a purple boy working with a similar box and red boy leaning against the light post.

"Koji, who's that?" The hit in red asked with a head nod towards me. Koji introduced me to Dakotaz, who basically ignored everything, and Steven, who stared me down.

"We found another box similar to this one. Right side of the hallway. It was next to the fence," I said before Koji could. That got Dakotaz's attention.

He sat up and looked tired. He sighed and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Thats great. I'll check it out tomorrow morning, it feels late and we should probably eat something," Dakotaz said as Steven helped him up. Dakotaz placed a crown on his head and Steven lead us towards another area.

I could see it was a cafeteria and there were two more people outside of it. They were talking quietly but stopped when they saw us.

"That's Hafu and 5up," Koji said and we walked closer. I formally introduced myself and they responded back.

We went inside and our groups split up. Me and Koji went to the table closest to the door and sat down next to eachother.

The other four sat at the table on the far side from us and talked about whatever. Koji nudged me and I looked at him.

"So exactly how are we getting out of here?" I asked and he smiled slightly

"Dakotaz was working on the electrical box. He's hoping to shut off the fence," Koji explained. I nodded and yawned. "Let's go to bed yeah?" He asked and we left the cafeteria.

We spilt up at our bedrooms and I crashed the second I hit the bed
